-As mentioned, the preprocessor is called before the WPS in each chunk. It must be an executable file that can be written in any language, and accepts 3 arguments. These are the initial date, the end date (as YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM:SS) and the path to the input data ([wiki:WRF4G2.0/Experiment extdata_path]). After preprocessing, the preprocessor must copy the properly formatted input data to a folder called `WPS/grbdata`.
+As mentioned, the preprocessor is called before the WPS in each chunk. It must be an executable file that can be written in any language, and accepts 5 arguments. These are the initial date, the end date (as YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM:SS), the path to the input data, member number and initial month number (4 and 5 arguments are available when `extdata_member` variable is used). After preprocessing, the preprocessor must copy the properly formatted input data to a folder called `WPS/grbdata`.
 
 WRF4G provides some preprocessors as examples. These are located under `$WRF4G_DEPLOYMENT_DIR/repository/apps/preprocessor` directory. In order to create preprocessors, they have to be located in the `wrf4g_files/bin` directory of the specific experiment.
